A federal judge in West Virginia is permitting a widow’s medical malpractice match to continue versus a momentary staffing and recruiting company for healthcare centers, declining its effort to transform a movement to dismiss to a movement for summary judgment based upon its dependence on an independent professional arrangement.
U.S. District Judge Irene C. Berger of the Southern District of West Virginia rejected Weatherby Locums’s movement to dismiss a charge of vicarious liability as the company of Dr. Katherine Warner, who was supposedly irresponsible in supplying care and treatment to Sara A. Fitch’s other half, Roger D. Fitch.
